CO2 Emissions Infographics in Python

How to build a data infographic with Python and Matplotlib

The word infographic is used to describe all manner of cute pictures featuring cartoon-like characters and arrows pointing all over the place.

But here I’m talking about graphics that convey information about data as might be used in a report or newspaper article like the one above.

In the article below, I imagine that I’m going to write a report or article about the state of our atmosphere and the level of CO2 that is contributing to climate change.

It will walk through the creation of two infographics that will inform readers about the levels of CO2 in the atmosphere, in the past and at present.

In the article we see how we can create images from graphs that are then combined with other background images, all using Matplotlib, Pandas and Python - no other tools are required.

I hope it is useful.
